CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Honoring the Tuskegee Airmen and their contribution in creating an
integrated United States Air Force, the world's foremost Air and Space
Supremacy Force.
Whereas the United States is currently combating terrorism around the world and
is highly dependent on the global reach and presence provided by the Air
Force;
Whereas these operations require the highest skill and devotion to duty from all
personnel involved;
Whereas the Tuskegee Airmen proved that such skill and devotion, and not skin
color, are the determining factors in aviation;
Whereas the Tuskegee Airmen served honorably in the Second World War struggle
against global fascism; and
Whereas the example of the Tuskegee Airmen has encouraged millions of Americans
of every race to pursue careers in air and space technology: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that the United States Air Force
should continue to honor and learn from the example provided by the
Tuskegee Airmen as it faces the challenges of the 21st century and the
war on terror.
Passed the House of Representatives June 1, 2004.
Attest:
JEFF TRANDAHL,
Clerk.
